“They are two of the 2014 Nobel Prize winners infamous for developing super-resolution microscopy, a technique that allows images to be taken with resolution that was previously thought to be impossible.”

These Nobel Prize winners will inspire Dr Taylor who is currently working on building and refining microscopes to improve the way neurons are measured.

“I’m a physicist but currently I’m looking at how living brains work, so this chemistry meeting will be of great relevance to my research,” Dr Taylor said.

“I enjoy working on science that’s actually seeing application and could lead to clinical results.

“A lot of physicists are starting to work on these problems, but it’s still quite rare to have one working in a biomedical sciences lab.

Meanwhile Mr White, of UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience, said the meeting would fuel his ideas and research towards designing next-generation therapeutics for obesity and inflammatory disorders.

“I am fascinated to hear the stories of the Noble Laureates and learn how their careers have progressed to receive the pinnacle award in science,” Mr White said.

“Having a strong background in structural chemistry, I am especially excited to meet Nobel Laureate Kurt Wüthrich, who is a pioneer of a research technique I use every day to determine the three-dimensional structure of peptides.

“Being able to discuss my research with some of the world’s best scientific minds and make new collaborations with up-and-coming research leaders will be both incredibly inspiring and insightful.”

The UQ researchers are two of 400 of the world's most talented young scientists invited to the meeting next month to mingle with more than 30 of the world's leading scientists.
